Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 8 ounces burrata cheese, fresh and creamy
- 4 cups mixed salad greens (arugula or baby spinach recommended)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic glaze (store-bought or homemade)
- A handful fresh basil leaves, torn
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or walnuts for crunch
Instructions
- Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C), approximately 5 minutes.
- Rinse peaches and slice in half, removing the pit carefully. Brush each cut side lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
- Place peaches cut side down on the hot grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but hold shape.
- Flip peaches and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes. Avoid burning; aim for caramelized, not burnt.
- While peaches grill, toss salad greens and torn basil leaves with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a large bowl.
- Arrange greens on a serving platter or individual plates. Place grilled peaches on top.
- Tear burrata into chunks and scatter over the salad. Sprinkle nuts if using.
- Drizzle balsamic glaze generously over the entire salad.
- Add a few cracks of black pepper and a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt on the burrata to enhance creaminess.
Notes
Use firm, ripe peaches for best grilling results. Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking and encourage caramelization. Assemble salad just before serving to keep greens fresh and burrata creamy. For dairy-free option, substitute burrata with nut-based cheese or creamy avocado and double nuts for texture. Homemade balsamic glaze can be made by simmering balsamic vinegar with honey or brown sugar until thickened.
